By this we know love,
because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down
our lives for the brethren.But whoever has this
world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from
him, how does the loveof God abide in him?My little
children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in
truth.(1 John 3:16-18 NKJV)
